My favourite bits from the interview in the November issue of Marie Claire
What do you call balancing three young children, with a thriving acting career and a range of perfumes? Most would say an exercise in insanity. But for Sarah Jessica Parker, it’s just another day at the office.
A former Broadway child star, Sarah Jessica Parker has lived in the public eye for so long, you'd think she'd be as tough-skinned as an elephant by now. But when we meet for lunch in Manhattan, she's still stewing over a New York Post gossip item from that morning claiming that she complained about being called for jury duty. Although she spent hours on the phone explaining it wasn't true, the item ran anyway. I'm astonished she cares. In fact, she cares so much, she spent the previous evening "sobbing to Matthew", admits Parker, referring to her husband of 14 years, Matthew Broderick.
"I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way. I am so desperately worried about anybody saying, 'She cut in line', or 'She took our table', or 'She doesn't do her own grocery shopping.' It's not like it's hard to be decent and respectful and well behaved. I do wait in line, and I do take the subway, and I do my own grocery shopping, and I do take the kids to school. But it almost doesn’t matter to a certain segment of the populace."

I love her style.
